According to Huelvapedia the baptismal font here was made of marble, probably from the 14th-century church [cf. infra]. There is no mention of this font in Carrasco Terrizo et al. (2006), who note instead a marble holy-water stoup of the 16th century near the entranceway. The present font may very well be also of the 16th or even 17th century; it consists of a round very shallow basin with side mouldings, raised on a baluster-shaped round pedestal base. The wooden cover is flat, round and plain.
